Why dilatation and curettage prices vary this much
The 17% spread on dilatation and curettage is not a quality signal. Published prices differ because of what the package includes — length of stay, follow-up, implants or consumables — and because consultant fees and theatre costs vary by location. Some listings above are a specific variant of dilatation and curettage rather than the standard one, which is why the exact wording each hospital uses is shown.
Compare like with like before reading anything into the dilatation and curettage gap: ask each hospital what the quoted figure covers, whether the initial consultation is included, and what happens to the price if you need a longer stay than the package assumes.
Would private health insurance pay for dilatation and curettage?
Not if you already have the problem. Cover is written for conditions that arise after it starts, so anything you already have symptoms of is a pre-existing condition and excluded — permanently under full medical underwriting, or until a symptom-free period has passed under a moratorium. Freedom Health Insurance names a five-year look-back; WPA adds a 14-day deferment on anything arising in the first fortnight.
Bought before symptoms, a policy is what turns £2,556 into a claim. Bought after, it will not. Get a free quote to see what cover would cost you, or read how UK cover compares and the FCA-authorised brokers.
